Chromosome | 5 | NCBI Gene Number | 100494 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Predicted to enable zinc ion binding activity. Acts upstream of or within cellular response to arsenic-containing substance and positive regulation of proteasomal ubiquitin-dependent protein catabolic process. Part of proteasome complex. Is expressed in cerebral cortex. Orthologous to human ZFAND2A (zinc finger AN1-type containing 2A). PHENOTYPE: Homozygous mutant mouse embryonic fibroblasts accumulate more polyubiquitylated proteins than wild-type cells and display higher levels of stress when exposed to arsenite, while isolated proteasomes are relatively impaired in substrate degradation in vitro.
